I am investing in a lot of chicks this year and will be selling them at the flea market and through adds. I am wondering on what I could use to house 100-150 chicks at a time that can be portable and go on a flat bed trailer and travel about 20 minutes to the market. We thought about doing...
OK I just put my turkey eggs in on June the 5th and today while I was turning them and I was like hey I will just candle and see what is going on ....Well I have 24 in there...I actually think 23 and one chicken egg cause it doesn't have spots on it but oh well anyways..... When I candled them I...
Hell! I am needing a large capacity incubator ! I need or would like to have something that holds at least 500 turkey eggs! I have looked at the sportsman and the largest one they have holds 216 I think. I found an incubator that I like and what not but I can't find any reviews on the product to...
I have a reptipro 6000 and I have never had humidity problems before but now I do. Last batch my humidity was to high the whole incubation and it drowned most of my chicks and they died. Well, I decided I was going to do a dry hatch and the humidity is up in the 60s and 70s!! I have no clue why...
Ok so I messed up last go around and had the humidity to high throughout my last hatch and it didn't end up well.....Well, I decided to do a dry hatch and my humidity is like in upper 60's and 70's!!! This is day 3 and one the first day it stayed around 15% but the kicker is I don't have any...
Seems I may have had the humidity up to high this batch cause some of the chicks air pockets were small. I ended up losing a fully formed chick with little to none of an air pocket but the others are hatching out pretty good and have pipped. I was thinking about doing a dry hatch next time and...
I have a Reptipro 5000 and last season it messed up on me! It will not heat up , it will cool down and the fan would come on but it wouldn't get above room temperature and I think either the temperature gage is messed up or the heating element used is . I did go ahead and buy a Reptipro 6000 for...
I was wondering if I came across a nest and gathered some of the eggs to hatch out if that was legal or illegal ? I am wanting to raise a few turkey's and where I live out in the country I figured that would be a better option then paying an arm and a leg for a dozen eggs that may or may not...
I have a barred rock hen and rooster and just recently hatched out a few chicks and I am a little familiar with the breed . Now , today I went and purchased 17 barred rock chicks and I am a little unsure if they are of not. I believe they are but some of them are a darker black and makes me...
I have a Reptipro5000 and am having some issues with the temperature ! For one the temperature thing doesn't even work ! It says at like 106 degrees and my thermometers say that it is 100 in there , but my main issue is that the temperature varies from the toppish middle to the bottom. I only...
